Yes, that was a nice added bonus indeed! You can use the bookmarks without
a glitch! Really fabulous!

Again, so true. Everything is just legible from page 1, so to speak.

I noticed so. I was going through the settings and it keeled over all of a
sudden. When NS crashes I have to fire up GPS and kill the remaining core
of NS, that takes up all the cpu. When Opera dies, it does so gracefully.
